Reagan on the $50
The plan to put Reagan on the $10 bill, and boot Hamilton, will likely meet excessive resistance from the supply-side branch of the Reagan Revolution.
As we are slowly but surely inflating our way through the centuries, why not look ahead? Much as the penny is useless today, when another order of magnitude of price inflation passes, the dime and the tenspot will be as common and as useless as singular currency units are today.
So instead of looking at the $10, why not go after one of our own, and replace the Republican on the $50 bill?
The dissolute drunkard Ulysses S. Grant, who won the Cvil War while sacrificing thousands to the cleverer Lee, has been eclipsed in our histories by Lincoln (rightly so).
With an eye toward the future, and a firmer understanding of our past, it is time to put Ronald Wilson Reagan on the $50 bill.
